A youthful Sovereign was riding one day through a glade that extended for a significant distance before him when he came to a profound open trench. He was going aside to stay away from it when he heard the sound of somebody crying in the trench. He got off his pony and ventured along toward the path the sound came from. To his surprise, he found an elderly person who beseeched him to help her out of the trench. The Ruler bowed down and lifted her out of her living grave, asking her simultaneously how she had figured out how to arrive.

'My child,' addressed the elderly person, 'I'm an extremely unfortunate lady, and not long after 12 PM I put out for the adjoining town together to sell my eggs in the market on the next morning; yet I got lost in obscurity and fell into this profound trench, where I could have stayed for ever, however for your thoughtfulness.'

Then the Sovereign shared with her, 'You can scarcely walk; I will put you on my pony and lead you home. Where do you reside?'

'Around there, at the edge of the woods in the little hovel, you find somewhere far off,' answered the elderly person.

The Sovereign lifted her on to his pony, and soon they arrived at the cottage, where the elderly person got down, and going to the Ruler, he said, 'Simply stand by a second, and I will give you something.'

What's more, she vanished into her cabin, but returned very soon and said, 'You are a strong Ruler, and yet you have a good nature, which should be compensated. Might you want to have the most lovely lady on the planet for your better half?'

'Unquestionably I would,' answered the Ruler.

So the elderly person proceeded, 'The most lovely lady in the entire world is the little girl of the Sovereign of the Blossoms, who has been caught by a winged serpent. Assuming that you wish to wed her, you should initially liberate her, which I will assist you with. I will give you this little chime: assuming you ring it once, the Lord of the Falcons will show up; in the event that you ring it twice, the Ruler of the Foxes will come to you; and assuming you ring it multiple times, you will see the Ruler of the Fishes close by. These will help you on the off chance that you are in trouble. Presently goodbye, and paradise succeed your endeavor.' She gave him the little chime, and there vanished the cottage and all, like the earth had gobbled her up.

Then, at that point, it unfolded on the Ruler that he had been addressing a decent pixie, and putting the little ringer cautiously in his pocket, he rode home and let his dad know that he intended to set the girl of the Blossom Sovereign free and expected setting out on the next day into the wide world looking for the servant. So the following morning, the Ruler mounted his fine pony and left his home. He had meandered around the world for an entire year, and his pony had passed on from fatigue, while he personally had experienced a lot of need and hopelessness, yet he had come across no hint of her he was looking for. Finally, one day, he came to a cottage, before which sat an exceptionally elderly person.

The Ruler asked him, 'Do you not know where the Mythical beast resides who keeps the girl of the Blossom Sovereign detainee?'

'No, I don't,' said the elderly person. 'Be that as it may, assuming that you go straight along this street for a year, you will arrive at a hovel where my dad resides, and potentially he might have the option to tell you.'

The Sovereign said thanks to him for his data and proceeded with his excursion for an entire year along a similar street, and toward its finish, he came to the little cottage, where he tracked down an extremely elderly person. He posed him a similar inquiry, and the elderly person replied, 'No, I don't have the foggiest idea where the Mythical beast resides. However, go straight along this street for one more year, and you will come to a cottage in which my dad lives. I realize he can tell you.'

Thus the Ruler meandered on for one more year, consistently on a similar street, and finally arrived at the cottage, where he tracked down the third elderly person. He put a similar inquiry to him as he had put to his child and grandson; yet this time the elderly person replied, 'The Winged serpent lives up there on the mountain, and he has quite recently started his extended period of rest. For one entire year, he is dependably conscious, and the following year, he dozes. In any case, on the off chance that you wish to see the Blossom Sovereign's little girl go up the subsequent mountain: the Winged serpent's old mother lives there, and she has a fabulous time consistently, to which the Bloom Sovereign's little girl goes routinely.'

So the Ruler went up the subsequent mountain, where he found a palace all made of gold with jewel windows. He opened the large entryway, driving into the yard, and was about to stroll in when seven mythical beasts surged on him and asked him what he needed. The Ruler answered, 'I have heard such a great deal about the magnificence and consideration of the Mythical beast's mother and might want to enter her administration.'

This complimenting discourse satisfied the winged serpents, and the oldest of them said, 'Indeed, you might accompany me, and I will take you to the Mother Mythical beast.'

They entered the palace and strolled through twelve marvelous corridors, all made of gold and jewels. In the twelfth room, they found the Mother Winged Serpent situated in a jewel-high position. She was the ugliest lady under the sun, and, added to everything, she had three heads. Her appearance was an extraordinary shock to the Ruler, as was her voice, which resembled the croaking of many ravens. She asked him, 'Why have you come here?'

The Ruler replied on the double, 'I have heard such a great deal your magnificence and thoughtfulness that I might want to enter your administration.'

'Great,' said the Mother Winged Serpent, 'however, assuming that you wish to enter my administration, you should initially lead my horse out to the knoll and care for her for three days; yet on the off chance that you don't bring her home securely every night, we will gobble you up.'

The Sovereign embraced the errand and drove the female horse out to the knoll. However, no sooner had they arrived at the grass than she evaporated. The Ruler looked for her to no end, and finally, in despair, he plunked down on a major stone and mulled over his miserable destiny. As he sat accordingly somewhere out in dreamland, he saw a falcon flying over his head. Then he abruptly reminded him of his little ringer, and removing it from his pocket, he rang it once. In a second, he heard a stirring sound in the air next to him, and the Ruler of the Hawks sank to his feet.

'I understand what you need of me,' the bird said. 'You are searching for the mythical beast's female horse, who is dashing about among the mists. I will call every one of the hawks of the air together and request that they get the horse and carry her to you.' And with these words, the Lord of the Birds took off. Towards night, the Sovereign heard a strong hurrying sound in the air, and when he looked into it, he saw great many birds driving the female horse before them. They sank at his feet on the ground and surrendered the horse to him.

Then, at that point, the Sovereign rode home to the old Mother Winged serpent, who was brimming with wonder when she saw him, and said, 'You have prevailed to-day in caring for my horse, and as a prize, you will come to my ball to-night.' She gave him a shroud made of copper and drove him to a major room where a few youthful mythical serpents and she-winged serpents were moving together. Here, as well, was the Bloom Sovereign's lovely little girl. Her dress was woven out of the most exquisite blossoms on the planet, and her composition was like lilies and roses.

As the Ruler was hitting the dance floor with her, he figured out how to murmur in her ear, 'I have come to liberate you!'

Then, at that point, the delightful young lady shared with him, 'Assuming you prevail with regards to bringing the female horse back securely the third day, request that the Mother Mythical serpent provide you with a foal of the female horse as a prize.' The ball reached a conclusion at 12 PM, and right on time the next morning, the Ruler again drove the Mother Mythical Beast's female horse out into the glade. Be that as it may, again she evaporated before his eyes. Then, at that point, he took out his little ringer and rang it two times.

In a second, the Ruler of the Foxes remained before him and said:

'I know as of now what you need and will gather every one of the foxes of the world together to find the female horse who has stowed away herself in a slope.'

With these words, the Ruler of the Foxes vanished, and at night numerous thousand foxes carried the horse to the Sovereign. Then, at that point, he rode home to the Mother-Mythical Beast, from whom he got this time a shroud made of silver, and again she drove him to the ballroom.

The Bloom Sovereign's girl was really glad to see him free from any potential harm, and when they were moving together, she murmured in his ear:

'In the event that you succeed again tomorrow, hang tight for me with the foal in the glade. After the ball, we will take off together.' On the third day, the Sovereign drove the female horse to the glade once more; yet again, she disappeared before his eyes. Then, at that point, the Ruler took out his little chime and rang it multiple times. In a second, the Ruler of the Fishes showed up and shared with him:

'I know very well what you believe that I should do, and I will call every one of the fishes of the ocean together and advise them to bring you back the horse, who is concealing herself in a stream.'

Towards night, the female horse was brought back to him, and when he drove her home to the Mother Mythical Serpent, she shared with him:

'You are a bold youth, and I will make you my bodyworker. Yet, what will I give you as compensation in any case?'

The Ruler asked for a foal of the horse, which the Mother Mythical Beast immediately gave him, and well beyond, a shroud made of gold, for she had fallen head over heels for him since he had lauded her magnificence.

So at night he showed up at the ball in his brilliant shroud; yet before the diversion was over he got away and went directly to the pens, where he mounted his foal and braved into the knoll to sit tight for the Blossom Sovereign's girl. Towards 12 PM, the lovely young lady showed up, and he put her before him on his pony, the Sovereign, and she flew like the breeze till they arrived at the Blossom Sovereign's residence. However, the mythical beasts had seen their flight and woke their sibling out of his year's rest. He flew into a horrendous fury when he heard what was still up in the air to lay attack on the Bloom Sovereign's castle; yet the Sovereign prompted a backwoods of blossoms as high as the sky to grow up around her home, through which nobody could compel a way. At the point when the Bloom Sovereign heard that her little girl needed to wed the Ruler, she shared with him:

'I will give my consent to your marriage happily; however, my little girl can remain with you in the summer. In winter, when everything is dead and the ground covered with snow, she should come and live with me in my royal residence underground.'

The Sovereign assented to this and drove his delightful lady home, where the wedding was held with extraordinary pageantry and grandness. The youthful couple resided cheerfully together till winter came, when the Bloom Sovereign's girl left and returned home to her mom. In summer, she got back to her significant other, and their life of euphoria and satisfaction started once more and endured till the methodology of winter, when the Bloom Sovereign's girl returned again to her mom. This approaching and going continued for her entire life, and despite it, they generally lived joyfully together.
